Patient's question:
My wife's physical condition has deteriorated significantly since giving birth to our baby. For the past two months, her menstrual flow has been very abnormal—suddenly becoming much heavier and accompanied by menstrual cramps. She had never experienced such symptoms before, so I took her to the hospital for a check-up. The diagnosis was acute endometritis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the pathogenic bacteria causing the infection, it can be divided into two types: tuberculous and non-tuberculous. (1) Tuberculous endometritis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and is often secondary to tuberculous salpingitis. (2) Non-tuberculous endometritis is more common and is caused by general pathogenic bacteria. It is often seen during menstruation, miscarriage, and postpartum: such as residual placenta and fetal membrane during delivery, sexual intercourse during menstruation, prolonged uterine bleeding, incomplete miscarriage infection, cervical inflammation, ascending infection from vaginitis, infection caused by necrosis of endometrial polyps or submucosal myomas.
